Canton Conservation Commission

Canton is updating its Open Space plan! Please join us at this public input session at the library on Thursday, January 15 at 6:30pm. Together we will help develop action items for the ten year period of 2027 to 2037. What do you want to see?

Collaborate with the Commission to protect Canton's biodiversity by participating in our new iNaturalist Canton MA Biodiversity Project, which focuses on identifying rare and endangered species, mapping species ranges, and tracking invasive species locations.

Don’t know what something is? No problem! Try to at least tag if it is a plant, insect, animal, etc and those more knowledgable will help you ID what you’ve seen!

Canton MA Biodiversity Project Help the Canton Conservation Commission record the town's biodiversity. Identify plants, animals, fungi, and insects, rare and endangered species, and invasive species within Canton. This data will help the Commission better protect Canton's natural heritage.
